Flower Loom Cluster Stitch Flower V2

Experiment with other thicknesses of yarn and hook sizes for different sized flowers.

Firstly make a flower with a smallish centre. Each petal should have two rounds of yarn.

Abbreviations

yrn = yarn round hook

Pattern

Outer round

Each petal is made up of two loops.

In each petal work:

*Slip stitch

chain 3

** yrh, hook through first chain,

yrh and pull through (3 loops on hook)

yrh and pull through two loops (2 loops on hook);

repeat from ** twice more (4 loops on hook)

yrh and pull through all 4 loops

chain 1

Repeat from * for each of the remaining 11 petals.

Join to the beginning of the round with a slip stitch.

Join the yarn to the right hand side of one of the petals near the centre of the flower with a slip stitch.

You can adjust the position as you go if it’s not right.

chain 3

** yrh, hook through first chain,

yrh and pull through (3 loops on hook)

yrh and pull through two loops (2 loops on hook);

repeat from ** twice more (4 loops on hook)

yrh and pull through all 4 loops

chain 1

Skip the next petal completely and join to the right hand side of the third petal with a slip stitch. Continue crocheting into every second petal in this manner until you have worked 6 petals.

Darn in any loose ends on the wrong side.
